1.e4! - A modern repertoire Volume 1&2

Autor: Breutigam, Martin
Verlag: ChessBase
Erscheinungsjahr: 2023
Sprache: German

In this two-volume video course, International Master Martin Breutigam presents a complete, finely tuned repertoire for White based on the move 1.e4. Clever and at the same time rock-solid systems in which White always sets the direction early on, so that Black's possible responses and thus the entire theoretical field are severely limited from the outset.

In this two-volume video course, International Master Martin Breutigam presents a complete, finely tuned repertoire for White based on the move 1.e4. Clever and at the same time rock-solid systems in which White always sets the direction early on, so that Black's possible responses and thus the entire theoretical field are severely limited from the outset.

The author was inspired in his selection by special systems of world champion Magnus Carlsen and other top players. In this first volume, Breutigam explains small concepts against the Sicilian Defense (Alapin Variation 1.e4 c5 2.c3), the French Defense (Advance Variation 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5), the Caro-Kann Defense (Advance Variation 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5) and against the complex of open games a "Vienna Bishop Game hybrid" (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 possibly with 3.d3 and 4.Nc3). This repertoire is intended for players who have always wanted to open with 1.e4 but have not dared to do so because of the seemingly unavoidable amount of theory, as well as for 1.e4 fans who want to refresh their repertoire. With model games, interactive tests and a tool for playing out critical positions, there are additional training options in this video course.

In the second volume of his video course 1.e4! - small systems, big game, International Master Martin Breutigam explains clever repertoire concepts for White based on the move 1.e4 against a number of respectable openings. Together with the first volume, which presents systems against "the big four" (1...e5, 1...c5, 1...e6, 1...c6), a complete, finely tuned repertoire for White is now available.

The second volume contains concepts against the Scandinavian Defense (1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nf3), Pirc Defense (1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.f4), Modern Defense (1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 and possibly 4.f4), Gurgenidze System (1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c6 4.f4 d5 5.e5), Alekhine Defense (1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.c4 Nb6 5.f4), Philidor Defense (1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nbd7 4.f4 or 3...e5 4.dxe5) as well as concepts against various rare openings, including the Nimzowitsch Defense (1...Nc6 2.d4). The author was once again inspired in his selection by the special systems of several top players, for example the preferences of the five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand. Ideal for players who have always wanted to open with 1.e4 but have not dared to do so because of the seemingly unavoidable amount of theory, as well as for 1.e4 fans who want to refresh their repertoire. With model games, interactive tests and a tool for playing out critical positions, there are additional training options in this video course.
